Join us in celebration of our West Coast branch’s second birthday on 1st May! There will be a jumping castle, play-dough table, popcorn, candyfloss and much more excitement. We will be running birthday specials until 7th May.

Our extended and beautified Bonsai area is ready for viewing, inspiring and purchasing.

We have added extensively to our range to suit beginners needs as well as to include superb collectors items.

A bonsai consultant will be visiting the garden centre on most weekends throughout the year to help you with your bonsai needs. Please call for dates and times (Currently operational at Rosebank; coming soon to West Coast Village).
